I just want to say to anyone reading this, this guy is the man! He is all about helping others and would take his shirt off his back for someone in a heartbeat. To go through all that and turn it into something positive is incredibly admirable.
Thank you so much for saying that brother! I have had so much help through my journey that I have to pay it forward! Thanks again!!!! God bless
My husband ran into one of his really good childhood friends, and he said to him man we need to start hanging out. we drink every weekend like a case of beer a day." He showed us all they rebate cards he has collected that he gets from krogers for buying cases of beer. He had at least 300 of them, he even kept a journal, so he knew how many he had. I knew right then it's OK to say hi but no hanging out because I can't be around drinking, especially to that degree. I always find myself wanting to drink, so my husband said ya no hanging out, just a phone call every once in a while.
That's a good call! I would not hang there either! That's a lot of beer! Good for you! Thank you for sharing! God bless
As one of the people who requested this video, i thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into this video. Its so appreciated.Incredibly useful info.Glad you re feeling a little better today. Much love.
Thank you and you are more than welcome! Like I said... these videos are for you guys. I m willing to do videos on whatever you all want me to do. Thank you again! God bless
My go to is 93% lean ground turkey when I get bored with jello,, yogurt, shakes, etc. You can turn it into anything with the right spices. Tacos, chili w/no beans, hamburgers wrapped in lettuce, meatloaf with steamed cauliflower, spaghetti with spinach noodles. Montreal steak seasoning, taco seasoning, 2 alarm chili powder mix. Anyway, when I'm wanting something easy on my pancreas but tastes and feels like a real meal, ground turkey is it for me. Thanks for sharing all your stories and advice. Love your channel brother! Keep doing what your doing!
Thank you! I do exactly the same thing! I just can't eat turkey quite yet. I love ground turkey. I can't even remember the last time I used ground beef. I can't even tell the difference really after I have cooked it. I make sure and really brown the meat and it's just like beef. Thank you so much for sharing!!! You are awesome! God bless
My biggest trigger is also boredom. The rain you said you got last night is now here in Jersey. !
Hey there! Hope you're doing well! Sorry I had to send that up to you guys... hahaha!!! I think boredom is one of my biggest for real. That's why I try my best and just stay busy. I don't even really do physical stuff... I just like to keep my mind occupied as much as possible. It likes to wonder way too much! Thank you so much! God bless
So true. Also movies. They always show this successful guy in a suit and tie with a six pack drinking away whisky everyday after work. Totally twisted from reality. They are making drinking alcohol into some type of archetype. In my home country Sweden, commercials of alcohol are forbidden on TV until very late night hours. We also have government mandated stores who are only allowed to sell alcohol. Basically monopoly. This however makes people even more desperate and buy more alcohol imo because their closing hours are so weird and also closed during holidays. So people really bunker up in desperation out of scarcity. You are a good man do not forget that ever.
Thank you for sharing 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you!!! You are exactly right! Or they portray the intelligent detective who wakes up in his suit and pours whiskey into his coffee in the morning. You know... the rough manly detective. It's like that here in the US in some states. The state I live in... South carolina... you have to buy liquor from an ABC store and the hours are like 10 to 7pm and closed on Sundays. So.. people will do the same here. A long time ago, you couldn't buy booze at all on Sundays... even beer, nothing. It created a huge black market for it. Tons of bootleggers selling on Sundays back then. Thank you so much! God bless
You nailed it with this video. Great advice..Anxiety and depression was such a trigger for me. Drinking helped me for a little while temporarily. When I quit I made the mistake of thinking that just stopping the drink would fix my emotional problems, but they were all still there. What quitting did was put me in a place where I could begin to work on those problems.
Thank you so much and so very true! I had to do the same thing... all those feelings were still there waiting on me to work out after I quit... they never left. Had to loom them dead in the eye and take them on.. and I'm glad I finally did because I am at so much more of a peaceful state now! Thank you! God bless
@@gratefulmusichealthylife hey! Thank you! What are the natural supplements that increase dopamine if you don't mind letting me know? I haven't heard of that before. Thanks so much!!! God bless
Hi good to see you. Almost 60 days sober drink two days of those days
Wow!!!! That's so awesome!!!! Good for you!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Wishing you all the luck on your next 60! It will be like no time at all!!! How are your energy levels now? Just wondering if you could elaborate because so many want to know when they will get theirs back and thought maybe you could help them with that. Thank you in advance!!@ god bless
Appreciate the video man!!!! My triggers were almost everything under the sun! I realized i was just running away from problems. Wish I wouldve confronted them earlier instead if being forced to after I got sick. As always man thanks for allowing us to come together with this channel!
Absolutely sir! Thank you so much for always being a huge part of this! God bless
I don't have liver or pancreas issues, but I recently had stomach surgery and found serenity kids pouches a life saver when I was really craving meat on a pureed diet.
I found your channel because I started looking up lots of health stuff after my surgery and I'm really struck by your candor and how you take time to research and fact check your topics.
I've learned a lot from you in many ways. You're helping a lot of people.
So glad your procedure went well! 💪
Hello! Thank you so much for the recommendation. I have never heard of that before, but will look into it. I am getting really burned out on what I have been eating lately. Thank you so much for the nice compliments! That really made me feel good! Thank you so much for watching the videos! It's crazy to me how I started making videos about my illness and it has morphed into a channel that so many different people are watching for so many different reasons that I never fathomed. Thank you again! God bless
Nice video! It’s a good thing to realize your triggers.. thanks agin.
Thank you! I really appreciate you! God bless
My biggest trigger has always been late night boredom after I come in for the day.
Hey! I totally get that. Especially this time of the year with it getting dark so early. I forgot all about that too. That was always a big trigger for me and I drank way more during this time of the year because of the dark and being depressed from it. Thank you for sharing! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I ended up getting a part time job in tht evening to force myself sober 4 nights a week.
Smartest thing I've done
Yay! So glad you are feeling a little better. Make yourself a priority! Thanks for another video.
You are more than welcome! And thank you so much! God bless
Habitual relapser here
Took about 10X before I got it & Im in 20yrs.
U get stronger every relapse
Another great vid
Thanks 🙏🏻
God Bless
I needed to hear “be kind to yourself” the love part that’s a big bag of worms so not today, I’ll do my best to be kinder tomorrow
So true, I've tried many times but this time feels very different, I really do think I will succeed. Heavy daily drinking for at least 25 years has taken its toll, last year or so I have been trying to cut back and knock it on the head knowing my booze journey has come to an end - it has to or else I will certainly die sooner rather than later.
@@UKProperPrepper oh I pray it is for you! I felt the same my last go round too.
I knew it wasnt going to end well with the thoughts I was having.
For me it was either me ending it or the pills. I’m not the type to allow something or someone to take me.
If I was going to end up leaving this earth it would be on Gods terms not by my hands if that makes sense.
Prayers to you & stick with this channel. He’s built an awesome community where we are our own tribe. Keep coming back!
Hope to keep seeing you here.
🙏🏻 Kristen
Thank you so much@@Kristen10-22. I've found this channel one of the most realist if not the realist, it's awesome and is really helping me.
Thank you for sharing Kristen! I'm hoping today is going to be a great day for you! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I had a fantastic day hope you did. I took Goose our 7mo old Brittney to the little park in our neighborhood. He is so strong. Usually walks with hb but I took him today. I even went on a Sunday! People around too. As long as I’m doing for an animals or others I can do it. Went back a bit ago and walked around the little lake. We saw falcons, buzzards and turtles 🐢 along with the traffic. He drags me like a rag doll. lol! We’re a mess lol
I learned a lot about alcohol from my dui class did not know about the danger s of alcohol . mainstream media Hollywood promote drinking 😢
They really do! Thank you for the comment! God bless
I was watching a video a few wks ago from one of the Jackass celebrities (Brandon) and he said his trigger was "his eyes opening." Thank you 4 Spreading awareness !! Keep the Faith!! 😊
Hey Jennifer! I never would have thought if that... buy dang that's so true! Thank you! God bless
My husband Chris passed today. It was a honor for me to be his full time hospice caretaker. I prayed the Lord to take him in his sleep and let it be peaceful. I have my beautiful memories. And I'm stronger than I ever thought I could be. He does not have to be in pain that he was from the liver cancer from cirrhosis. God bless you and speedy recovery. Shine on. Fly high my dear husband, forever our Texas Twinkie.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband to morphine overdose 13 years ago.
I'm so sorry for your loss xx
I’m so sorry Tracy. Please be very kind to yourself in the coming days and weeks x
I am so sorry for your loss. At least he is no longer in any pain. God bless you and your husband. I hope that you are doing ok. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for u.
I’m sorry for your loss!
Forgot to add. For me, my biggest ever trigger is black coffee. And several cups. Anyone else have that? And my biggest rescuer is eating food. It erases my craving immediately and I can not and have never been able to drink with food or drinking on a full stomach. I quit coffee also…
Never had that with coffee.... I drink coffee all day and water. The food... yes!!!! That's a great one and I forgot about that one too! Damn! Thank you! When I first quit, that's what I would do. I could never drink on a full stomach, or anything in my stomach. So I would eat when I got home and there would be no way I could drink if I wanted to. Thank you for bringing up some great points! God bless
@@user-ii2uh1xq7b I understand.
Man did this too! This is how I stopped drinking! I would eat dinner and I wouldn't want to go!!! Crazy I still had cravings after getting Jaundice and going to the ER but that's how an addict mind works...
I'm the same with food, never have drunk with meals etc. At my worst I would avoid eating as much as possible as it took away the effects of the drinking. Would typically have a small meal around 9pm after drinking all day so I could fall asleep and start all over again the next day.
@@UKProperPrepper I would do the same thing. Wait until after I had drank and then eat really late at night. Not good for you for sure. I always had indigestion from it.
Thanks for sharing!
You may not get a lot of views everyday, but I think this is good outlet for you.
Thank you so much! Nope... I don't get a ton everyday. I could definitely be doing something else on TH-cam, but I want to spread awareness on this subject and it helps me get things off my chest. I love all the interactions with everyone! Keeps me busy, and I really need that! Thank you! God bless
So glad you are feeling better today, really good to hear. I'm days 7 sober today and feel much better physically, the tingling and aching in my arms and legs has finally subsided, still feeling sick especially after eating but have found I have slept much better the last couple of nights. I was triggered yesterday, had a few stressful events happen, but rode through it by reminding myself it is a feeling that will pass.. Wasn't easy, but I did it and I managed the problems without drinking. Awesome video and advice, thank you for sharing.
Thank you! That is so awesome! 7 days is great!!!! Good for you! And good job dealing with the stressful situation the way you did! It does pass and it can be uncomfortable, but it does go away just like you said. Thank you again! God bless
Migraines
Physical pain ie; broken rib
Toe
Emotions when I already have borderline/cptsd.
Nailing it 🎉
So glad you are feeling a little better! 🙏🏻Thanks for making the video, you put so much effort into it even though you were not feeling great. You are being so helpful, thank you, you are so encouraging. Anxiety is a big one.
Thank you so much!!!! Anxiety is a huge one! It was always one of my biggest reasons I drank. I was trying to self medicate, and not doing a good job at it. I almost lost my life because I didn't want to deal with my problems. Thanks again! God bless
You are amazing 😊
Thank you! So are you! God bless
Omg thank you for validating what I do watch tv on/off every weekend is ok. I am ok.
I need to hold onto ice cubes squeeze em tight over the sink.
It’ll change your thought immediately.
I love movies
I get lost in characters
My fav thing to do is chores too.
Doing great
You're welcome! I love movies so much! Movies and podcasts with chores really have saved my life. I get lost in the monotony of it. God bless
My hobby I have now that I love is building dollhouses. It brings me back to my youth at the same time. I'm working on one now.
yeah boiled eggs and brown rice maybe some salmon
Thank you for your picks! God bless
Hit like everyone. 👍
@@starbright1256 thank you so much starbright! You are awesome! I really appreciate you!!!!!! God bless
Happy to hear your feeling a bit better 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Kristen! I am! Hope you are doing well today! How's the weather in texas?
@@liverdisease-qb6rk it was maybe 60 today & sun… cold at night now.
Same tomorrow then buckets of rain for Monday. Ugh! We haven’t had a freeze yet. They r calling for a Wild hurricane season. Katy is about 2hrs inland from Galveston so usually we just get lots of rain. It’s so dry due to lack of water during summer the ground is like concrete. Water takes forever to soak in.
I’m so so today. I have a hard time on weekends. No schedule really. I do way better during the week. How bout you?
@@Kristen10-22 that'd good to hear. Sorry the weather is crappy there. I hope you guys don't get too much rain. I know that can be a problem in those areas with the ground not absorbing water, flash floods and what not. I'm doing better. Thank you for asking! Still having stomach cramps, but that's normal. It usually takes a couple weeks before things settle back down. But, I am home with my family so I am happy! It's the little things that bring me so much joy in life now. Just being able to spend the weekend with my family is all I need, even if we just watch movies all weekend... I just love it! These days will be gone one day and I want to get in as much time with them as possible now. Wasted away a lot of years. Thanks again! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I couldn’t agree more. We usually stay at home too. Were homebodies always have been.
We were maybe 5mi from Harvey’s wrath. They built our development maybe a year before so we r higher.
That was insane
Alot of these wonderful tips and advice for trying to not to drink, and they are super good tips, can also be used for people like myself with other type problems that dont involve drink or drug, although i did drink some in the past, many years ago. So Thank you kindly for this great info, i will be trying some of them myself .. So happy to hear your feeling better today. God Bless you and yours 💕🙏✌️.
Hey! Thank you so much for everything you said! I really appreciate that! I am feeling much better now! Thank you again! God bless
Driving past a CVS, Walgreens, show “Intervention” reading the word “pharmacy”
The intense urge to use after passing or thinking of a show is so much better now.
I’d look through friends medicine cabinet.
An empty Subsolv packet found many times.
I say outloud
“Satan flee from me now & Never return again in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ”
He will send thoughts through my mind at the weirdest times. So random
Satan sends awful thoughts terrible ones.
A sight, sound, smell, someone’s ?’s even can trigger bad memories that used to make me pop a Vicodin ES. I’d prob use 15-20 a day? I always came up short every month.
Detox q month until refill my script. So happy I don’t do that anymore.
Do you mind telling me what a vicodin es is? I am not versed on that. What mg were you taking 15 to 20 of?
@@liverdisease-qb6rk lmao who’d a thunk looking at the pill just now took me back to swallowing em whole no water. One pill 7.5 hydrocodone & 300mg of Tylenol. It was bad. I’d take 2 waking up, 1 an hr later and keep going. I’m good no worries. I still swallow pills 💊 without water. ES is extra strength. Lord Texas does not play when it comes to any pain med.
God knew what He was doing moving me here. Lol
@@liverdisease-qb6rk 15-20tabs q day. Just like Adderall is the pharmaceutical form of cocaine hydrocodone is kinda like the pharmaceutical weak grade of heroin I bet. Holy cow even writing H scares the crap out of me.
Very apt your video today I got a lot of stress from a family member earlier and I really did want to drink but I remained strong and remembered this video 🙏.. thankyou god bless
Thank you! I really appreciate you letting me know that! That is so awesome that u refrained! Great job!!!! I know how hard it can be too. Family can really get under our skin sometimes, especially because they know exactly what to say. Thank you so much for sharing! God bless
Oh gosh triggers, good topic!! They were everywhere over Christmas, but I just look at how far I've come and think I never want to go back to that dark place!
I'm over 2yrs sober and the only person who really knew how bad I felt was my husband. My drinking ramped up at home during Covid and then it got to drinking every day, then earlier and earlier every day and so on, you know how it goes...
I thank God every day that I stopped the poison, so I when I get triggered I take a few moments to think of where my life was heading and how I never want to go back there again. Also sober people are so much more interesting than drunks. I was a boring person with limited ideas when I drank, I never want to be that person again.
I also listen to a lot of podcasts. Do you have any good podcast or book recommendations (if you're ok saying)?
Thanks for another great video, glad to see that you're feeling a bit better since your procedure. Take good care of yourself :) Sorry v long comment, but thinking about triggers really brought me back!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I really appreciate you going so in depth with it! I know all about covid. That's when mine hit danger level 1 as well.
As far as podcasts are concerned... I love Joe rogan, Andrew huberman show, lex freedman, the concrete podcast or the Danny Jones show, Stevos podcast... I can't remember the name, tiger belly, 2 bears one cave.
My favorite podcast is the phone losers of America podcast, or the snowplow show. It's a prank call podcast and it's hilarious! The guy is really intelligent and is really quick on his feet and his prank call ideas are just top notch! Some of the things that he has gotten people to do on there are just out of this world!!! I'll put a link in below to one of the funniest ones he had ever done imo. God bless
th-cam.com/video/-j3Le6Wfo5k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mslBYYagtitJgpAJ
Check out the link I put there. If you are into comedy like that. The show is on Spotify.
Oh wow thank you so much. Looking forward to checking out some of those podcasts and the link - you're a star !!!!!@@liverdisease-qb6rk
@@beckybuvat2500 thank you!!! I am going to warn you... the link I sent is not the most mature thing in the world. But... it's hilarious! It's all clean, nothing like that. Let me know! I hope you are into humor like that. I don't listen to stuff like that often, but when I'm down and having a bad day.. it really cheers me up! God bless
I was supposed to jump off on 01/04/2024. I couldn't do it. I lost my boyfriend and my 24 year-old daughter because I didn't quit. I have a new plan, using the 10/10 taper. My new jump date is 01/17/2024. God help me. Wish I could get a prescription for phenobarbital. That would help immensely
I am not familiar with the 10/10 taper. I will have to look that up. Good luck on your journey! I will pray for you! Have you spoken to a Dr about it? Thank you! God bless
It's when, say you're used to drinking ten units a day, you just drop one unit a day for ten days to taper. I haven't told my doctor. I'm too ashamed lol
@elizabethg6199 got it! That sounds like a good plan. Please don't be ashamed to speak to your Dr. I have spoken to more Dr's that tell me they drink too much than I could tell u. Thank you so much for getting back to me and teaching me about that. God bless
Yeah I've had to tell myself not to feel bad about wasting a weekending because on Monday I will be fresh and ready to grind workout and work instead of feeling hungover and waiting till Wednesday or Thursday before I'm full power to fall into the cycle the next weekend.
Good for you!!! I know how hard it can be sometimes to be lazy, but you deserve it. Just not drinking in itself is so hard already! Keep it up! God bless
Yeah, I went through one of those stores in the mall, like The Gap, and they had put down oak floors and they smelled like bourbon. Bourbon was not my "go to" drink, fortunately.
Wow! That's crazy! I'm guessing that they were using old bourbon barrel wood? Thank you! God bless
Today I am making a recipe that has white wine and since it isn’t my choice of alcohol I thought about not doing recipes with it because i might get triggered. I like margaritas and other sweet mixes with vodka. I get triggered by slushy drinks because it was my way of consuming vodka. I’m glad it isn’t a trigger.
Hey there! You can usually substitute vinegar for white wine depending on what it is... juts fyi. Most of the time, the wine is just to deglaze the pan and vinegar works fine. It doesn't work in all cases, but most. Just thought I would share that with u. I understand the slushy drinks and such. I still can't drink sprite because of that. Thank you for sharing! Nice to hear from you again! God bless
yeah commercials are bullshit, i started drinkin when i was 16 and i didnt know the way companies try and sell you shit
They really are.... there was one playing on the video I did yesterday! I'm not kidding!
I wouldn’t suggest eating high sugar processed food like substances like jello. That’s not food and there’s no real nutritional value. Processed sugar is a liver toxin. Eat fruit and water rich vegetables. Fruit sugar will not affect your body like processed sugar. Not all sugar is made equally. Dairy is hard to digest, we lack the enzymes to digest it. Whole food plants have been my saving grace for pancreatitis and liver/gallbladder issues. It’s my opinion that these processed foods are a HUGE contributor to dysfunction with these bodily systems (beside alcohol abuse).
You are correct. I do not ear the regular jello, I consume the sugar free kind. I know it's not the best for you, I just have a really hard time eating anything else after my procedures. I don't eat it everyday all the time, just for a couple days until my pancreas settles down. Thank you for the advice. You are right on point! God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk let me suggest watermelon. The last time I had a pancreatic flare up the only thing I could eat without discomfort was watermelon. It’s also one of the easiest fruits besides grapes to digest. Be careful with “sugar free” foods. Your body knows what to do with sugar, it doesn’t know what to do with the chemical additives that replace sugar in many of these products. Turns out they are potentially far more toxic than just sugar. I feel for you my brother, in times like this you have to make hard decisions for yourself. Take as much of your health in to your own hands as possible, that means being mindful of everything that goes in to your body. It’s not easy (especially surrounded by others that don’t make healthy decisions) but it’s easier than the alternative (a life of medical procedures that don’t cure anything just treat symptoms). Best wishes in conquering this affliction…
@@biorythmicshifter thank you for that. I really appreciate it! I sure will. God bless
I've got schizophrenia and soy milk helps me sleep. Soy milk could help. You can drink alot of it with out it making your stomach turn.
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate you! God bless
You should make a rule to yourself that you only respond to last two or three video comments. Your channel is growing and it gets too much!
Hahaha! My wife has told me the exact same thing! Thank you! It really is growing so fast! I love it! Thank you... God bless
How much were you actually drinking daily when going through your addiction?
Hello. Thank you for the question. Inwas drinking at least a liter of vodka and beer as well. Everyday. God bless
My trigger is seen in liquor stores
I know what you mean.... God bless
How far are you from the coast bro 🌊
About 3 hours. Thanks for the question! God bless
Tapioca pudding?
Rice?
Great ideas
@@liverdisease-qb6rk after moving from C town to here my gallbladder stopped working. Way too much stress/fear. My tummy hurt so bad b4 I saw a gastroenterologist all I could eat was rice. I went and it was at maybe 7%. Welcome to the next season I guess. lol! We’d get the best tapioca at home. I eat won ton soup too. Hope it helps
@@Kristen10-22 thank you! Wonton soup is a great one... I haven't thought of that. God bless
@@liverdisease-qb6rk I can also do baked pirogies.
